I swear that I have had enough. There's no challenge and there's no fun so this is the last song about you that I'll write. Doesn't matter if we eventually get things right. All these songs they sound the same. Cause we've been playing this fucked up game for two for too long. And any material that I write is secretly written by you despite the fact that you never tried or maybe because of that. Now i've decided that I want my book back even if we never talk again. Scratch out my name on the plastic shot glass I used to drink water from when we were friends. My girlfriend asked me, "do you love her?" I said no it's not like that.It's more like I'm her brother or it would be If she cared at all. And if we had a mother to put our heads against the corner of the wall and tell us to behave and treat each other all the right ways. But now I'm on to better days cause we can't behave. No we can't behave. I'm not letting myself write more songs about you. I'm not letting myself do this again cause once you're in babe, yeah you're all in. And even when the songs are writing themselves you can't get out. No matter how good they sound in my head, I'm not letting myself do this again.

You'll get clean when this is over, You'll tell me again But the reason I doubt you Is the same reason you're here But I'll still talk to you again before I leave And wish you would do the same And if you go before me, That's alright Because it's only relative; how long we're alive, but until then I'll drive across the state To see you again To see your skin stretched out across your frame Kept company by the out of tune refrain of the monitors that keep you And if I see you in paradise I won't know you So I'd like to have a little More time

I know that you always sit alone I feel your indifference from my side of my unanswered phone. I will not ask you what you want. But I'll ask if anything new is going on. Not really. Consciously attempting to avoid people new relationships of any kind. Makes things less complicated I see depression in your lines I wish that in the past you had realized That people cared about your heart When we tried to make you talk. I know your bills aren't very high I know you sit in darkness when it's late at night Even if you played me like a pawn, I'll ask if anything new is going on. I wish I cared that you always sit alone Do you feel my indifference from my far off distant tone? Would you wear your glasses if I asked you to get coffee? Would you cook with Gabrielle if we planned to watch a movie? Would you let me in if you were crying to yourself? Do you ever cry about how there is no one left? I guess I care that you're on your own. But only cause old friends attend friend's funerals alone.

I know you'd like to love him more than me I know you'd like to love him more than anything More than we ever think we could have loved each other Aend that's just fine And I'm still not sure the reason why you left But maybe this is why, and it's for the best Because you weren't made for me, But for the lord And I see you here and there from time to time It's not quite like it used to be, but it's alright Because you're who you want to be And still looking And you're teaching; I'm learning from you Though I miss the way we used to be, I'm grateful that you do Because I'm finding out what I'm supposed to be And who I am
